THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE TO BE SHUT TEMPORARILY ON THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY The Lagos State Government has said that the 3rd Mainland Bridge will be temporarily shut down for four days starting from midnight of August 23 to midnight of August 26, 2018 for Investigative Maintenance Test to be carried out. The State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Mr Ade Akinsanya, who disclosed this in a statement, said the decision was taken after due consultation with the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing. The four-day closure, according to Akinsanya, will enable the contractors assess the true state of the bridge after which works would commence by the end of the year or early in 2019. It would be recalled that the Federal Government had earlier announced plans to shut the bridge in July, but had to be shelved after due consultation with the State Government and wide deliberations with other stakeholders, who expressed concern about the indiscriminate parking of articulated vehicles on other alternative routes which would have adversely affected traffic. Subsequently, a Joint Task Force set up to remove the articulated vehicles from the highway was able to achieve tremendous success. Justifying the need for the closure, Akinsanya said: “The 3rd Mainland Bridge which was opened about 30 years ago by the then military government has had haphazard maintenance and repairs in the past which the present Federal Government is committed to correct by carrying out proper and continuous maintenance and repairs on it.” Consequently, the State Government appealed for the cooperation, support and understanding of all motorists and residents, advising them to minimize non-essential travel and movements during the four-day closure. Besides, Akinsanya said all traffic management agencies including the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the Police, among others, have been mandated to ensure smooth flow of traffic on all the other alternative roads and traffic corridor http://www.olonitolacaleb.com/2018/08/third-mainland-bridge-to-be-shut.html

Nigeria knew they had to do their integrity checks after the Genoa Bridge Disaster. What a useless country! that compromises the safety of her citizens. The so called minister of works and Lagos state government selfishly suspended the Integrity checks because of a flimsy reason of trailers parked on the alternative route to the island. Before you quote me charter a boat and go under the 3rd mainland bridge to see for yourself. 3 Likes |

id4sho: Doing so would have disrupted economic activities especially in the hospitality and entertainment industries. These sectors don't get patronage every now and then, so why "spoil" market when needed? Lagos needs a train system whether like HK, Singapore, London or Tokyo. She needs one! 1 Like 1 Share |
